CHAPTER 420: CHAPTER 388: LOVING THE TRANSFORMING SELF_3

"Come on." Lin Huai Shu didn’t move closer to her, "Look at the camera."

Qiao Lechu looked at the phone.

Then there was a person-sized gap between them, watching the socially anxious artist holding up the phone.

Lin Huai Shu’s face was stiff from smiling, and the socially anxious artist didn’t say a word.

Lin Huai Shu asked, "Did you take it?"

"I took a lot of pictures." The socially anxious artist said.

Lin Huai Shu opened his mouth, but didn’t say anything.

But the silence was deafening.

Qiao Lechu couldn’t help but chuckle, and at that moment, the socially anxious artist took several more shots.

"Boss, take a look, should I take more?" The socially anxious artist handed the phone to him without considering how Lin Huai Shu looked in the picture.

Lin Huai Shu took a look and only noticed that Qiao Lechu looked great in the pictures, completely ignoring his own appearance: "Hmm, nice, nice, very nice."

Qiao Lechu looked at the slightly distorted Lin Huai Shu at the edge of the photo: "......"

Where is it nice?

She began to suspect that Lin Huai Shu’s earlier praise of her photography skills was nonsense.

For the first time, Qiao Lechu felt uneasy when someone praised her photography skills.

"Then boss, I’m off." The socially anxious artist said.

"Go ahead, go ahead." Lin Huai Shu said, "Thanks a lot."

"No, no, you’re welcome." The extremely socially anxious artist said and quickly ran off.

Lin Huai Shu was still happily looking at the photos.

Qiao Lechu carefully examined the photos again, then looked at Lin Huai Shu.

She found out that his happiness and satisfaction weren’t faked.

She thought: He likes... the distorted version of himself???

...

Qin Xia and Qiao Yuxian stayed for a while, then went to greet the organizers.

Qiao Yuxian asked He Tu to casually make an invitation and didn’t come as Xi Mei, thus skipping a lot of small talk and greetings.

She just ate and drank at the event, watching Qiao Lechu and Qiao Weizhou.

Qiao Lechu now had Lin Huai Shu for company.

Qiao Weizhou was still over there chatting with some people.

She just focused on eating and drinking.

After a while, Ji Xiaoxiao came over. Without saying a word, she stood next to Qiao Yuxian.

Qiao Yuxian glanced at her and said, "You’re here too?"

"Yeah." Ji Xiaoxiao said, "Qin Xia gave me an invitation, I’m here to check it out, look for job opportunities."

"Have you decided where to go?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"Thinking of going to Xi Mei." Ji Xiaoxiao said, "Qin Xia always says Xi Mei is great, I think it must be good. Otherwise, Qin Xia wouldn’t renew her contract for another ten years."

Qiao Yuxian nodded in agreement, "I think so too."

"Just not sure if I can get into Xi Mei." Ji Xiaoxiao said, "I heard Xi Mei’s signing process is very strict, requiring the boss’s personal selection before signing."

Qiao Yuxian looked at her and said, "Who said that?"

"Qin Xia said so." Ji Xiaoxiao whispered, "She said it’s an internal process, not disclosed to outsiders."

Qiao Yuxian: "... How can the selection and signing process be an internal secret? What can’t be told?"

"You don’t believe it." Ji Xiaoxiao continued in a low voice, "Xi Mei has quite a few people who passed the interview and were about to sign, but didn’t in the end. Think about it, really think about it."

Qiao Yuxian blinked and said, "There are only a few cases, and that’s because the candidates themselves didn’t want to sign, it has nothing to do with Xi Mei."

"How do you know?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked.

"I..."

Qiao Yuxian hadn’t replied when Ji Xiaoxiao interrupted again, "What you heard must be fake."

Qiao Yuxian swallowed her words: "......"

"Mine’s authentic." Ji Xiaoxiao said.

Qiao Yuxian looked at her, then after a while asked, "What else did Qin Xia tell you?"

"She just told me that Xi Mei’s signing process is strict, requiring the boss’s personal selection. And said, if I meet the boss, I might be shocked." Ji Xiaoxiao said, "I asked her why, and she wouldn’t say. Do you know why?"

Qiao Yuxian looked at her, thinking: Why? Because she’s just teasing you. She’s lying and you’re filling in the gaps with your imagination. Sigh—

"I think maybe the boss is either really ugly or he’s not a good person." Ji Xiaoxiao said.

Qiao Yuxian heard her insulting her, and suddenly noticed Qiao Shuning among the staff nearby.

She thought she was seeing things and took another look.

It was indeed Qiao Shuning, wearing work clothes and a staff badge.

"I suspect there’s something unspeakable going on behind the scenes." Ji Xiaoxiao analyzed, "Qin Xia couldn’t disclose much to me, just gave me a heads-up. Whether to go to Xi Mei or not is up to me."

Qiao Yuxian diverted her gaze from Qiao Shuning and said slowly, "I think besides acting, you could also be a screenwriter."

"Why?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked.

"You have a rich imagination." Qiao Yuxian said.

"Of course, I often won awards for my elementary school essays, teachers always praised my imagination..." Ji Xiaoxiao said happily, suddenly realizing, "You’re insulting me."

Qiao Yuxian tilted her head and laughed.

Ji Xiaoxiao stomped her foot in frustration, "You’re still laughing. I swear everything I said was true. You just don’t believe me, stop laughing..."
